I bought a tripod the other day-from 7dayshop.com-£12.99 including delivery!Anyway I took it out the other night and tried a long exposure shot.This is the result:I love the starbursts-but shame about the traffic cones!

Emily and I went to craigmillar Castle today. I can't begin to describe how cold it was. The castle is, as ou can see, a ruin, and the wind and rain blew into every nook and cranny. I would like to go back again when it's warm enough to really explore it, and to enjoy the views from the top!

I bought a new (to me) lens from ebay last week, and had a wee play around with it this morning.It is a f1.7 5mm prime lens. It works very differently from my zoom lens, and so is going to take some getting used to.

Last Sunday we got up early and drove up to the Trossachs. Loch Ard is a photograper's dream. The Loch has the most amazing reflective qualities. The mist was down thick over the loch when we arrived, and I was able to take some atmospheric photos. But even in the thick mist the loch still reflects. This photo looks more like a photo of a snow scene, but if you look at the fence protruding into the water you will be able to see the reflection in the water.And what a difference an hour makes-same fence, slightly different angle:
